Tidal Paradise - Heated Pool & Firepit! Walk to the Beach!

Rest your feet in the sand at The Tidal Paradise Beach Retreat. Located in Crescent Beach this 3 bedroom, 2 bath, beach cottage with heated pool was just built! Located a very short distance from the ocean and vehicular beach access. After spending the day splashing around in the ocean tide return to The Tide House for a relaxing dip in the pool or a relaxing sunset view on your front porch. The backyard is completely private and offers plenty of space to relax or play games with family or friends. The living room as has a sofa bed as well as a daybed with a trundle underneath. Don’t worry about staying connected if you are working from home. We offer high speed internet and smart TVs. Plenty of parking available to accommodate the family. If you have a large family and need a second location please inquire with the host about the sister property, The Tropical Winds Beach Retreat, located right next door.

The history of St. Augustine is incomparable with almost any other on our coast. Founded in 1565 it is chock full of amazing places to visit, from the oldest house to the first schoolroom, to the impenetrable fort built by the Spanish. Lincolnville, just south of downtown St. Augustine takes you on a walking tour of the history of the civil rights movement noting where Martin Luther King stayed on numerous occasions. Needless to say, there’s also so many unique shops, and the restaurants are so varied and truly have an international flavor! There are things to do no matter the weather! You can take a free boat ride to Fort Matanzas and learn the history about the battles fought. Further south is Marineland where you can swim with dolphins!

The St. Augustine and St Johns County area have a great variety of golf courses for players of every level and skill. There are always concerts at St. Augustine Amphitheatre and events at Francis Field as well. You will never run out of things to do here in St. Augustine. It is probably one of the most beautiful places in all of Florida, and for sure one of the most photographed! Come and see for yourself!

Pets and Service Animals: You must let us know if you are bringing an animal to the home, even if it is a service animal! It's important to let the cleaners know. Up to 2 dogs are allowed with a nonrefundable pet fee. They must be less than 50lbs each and no aggressive breeds. NO CATS! Please do not allow your dogs to jump up onto the beds or couches. If the dogs are accustomed to being allowed on the furniture at home, please bring blankets to protect the surfaces. If you forget to bring blankets, let us know and we will provide you with some. If you bring a pet and do not tell us or pay the fee, we will charge your damage deposit for the pet fee plus $100 for the unexpected extra services required to clean the house.

All beds will be freshly made with the exception of the sofa bed. You will find the linens for it in the master closet.

The cleaning company provides a limited amount of basic necessities (toilet paper, trash bags, dishwasher/laundry soap, etc.) to get you started, you will want to bring some with you. Garbage and recycling must be taken out to the street Sunday night for Monday morning pickup.

The pool heater thermostat is set to a temperature between 78 and 85 degrees F, depending on the time of the year. If the daytime air temp doesn't get above 58 degrees the pool will have a difficult time staying heated.

We don't offer refunds or reschedule stays during hurricane season, even if there is an evacuation order. Please purchase trip insurance for your stay if this is a concern.

Great house!

Tidal Paradise was exactly as advertised! The home was clean and just the right size. The pool was a nice addition and the backyard spacious. 5 minute walk to the beach. A nice quiet space to stay but only a 20 minute drive from all of the hustle and bussle of downtown St. Augustine. Owner was very quick to respond and rules for the house were clear.

Stayed a few nights and had a wonderful stay. House is just as listed. Very clean. We walked to the beach a couple of times. We drove to the beach as well when we had more things to carry. Our girls loved the pool. Our dog loved the fenced in back yard. Thanks for a great place to stay!

This place is absolutely beautiful. Very clean, very spacious, very liveable. All the necessities for home away from home. Well supplied kitchen to cook all the meals that you want too. Very nice bedrooms with some big ol beds. The owners of the property were very responsive to any questions and gave us heads up when the pool company was coming to do the chemicals and clean the pool. Over all, we were completely satisfied with our stay!! Could not have asked for a better place to spend a week in St.Augustine. Oh, I forgot to mention the pool, the fire pit and the grille that we wore out!! The pool was cleaner than the ocean, there was NO SAND, and the sun was the same sun that was at the beach. Amazing, amazing place to stay. Thank you David and Patti for your hospitality! We will DEFINITELY be in contact for our next trip down.

Excellent!!!

My family stayed at this lovely beach home for a long weekend. It is centrally located to the beach and downtown area and close to our favorite restaurant, Saltwater Cowboys. The home was immaculate, it had all brand new appliances, including a crock pot, and the beds were comfortable! Our kids enjoyed swimming in the pool as well. I highly recommend this home if you are looking for a “home away from home.” The owners are very friendly and helpful too.

Great Property/Lots of rules & Pool hours

The pictures are accurate. It looks just like the photos but the pool has hours that are not advertised. Also there are ALOT of rules, cleaning, and choirs. The property managers will want to know when you arrive and leave because the cleaning crew needs to get in as soon as possible. The property managers contacted us daily while we were ON vacation. St. Augustine is beautiful but next time I’ll just stay at a hotel that was much cheaper and does not require so many chores. Upon speaking to the property managers, I am told that everything that they asked us to do was a recommendation not a requirement so I’ve listed the numerous requests from the property managers that was sent daily. Also, the neighboring house were firing fireworks and they definitely did NOT receive the note about the pool hours.

Great house! Super comfortable and nicely decorated. We had a great stay with our daughter & young kids. They loved the pool and the beach was easily accessible so best of both worlds! We made a lot of our meals in and the kitchen was furnished with the basics we needed. Would definitely rent again!

Fell in love with Butler Beach!

Our stay was spectacular. House was clean and offered everything we needed for a simple and relaxing beach vacation for the week with our baby. Pool was always clean and temperature was perfect! Neighborhood was quiet but friendly. Beach was a short 10-15 min walk or 3 min drive!! Perfect for us. The only thing I would say (also I have a sensitive back so this for my fellow achey people) is that the master bed wasn’t the most comfortable. I wouldn’t let that deter me from coming back but I may bring an air mattress. Butler Beach is laid back and charming— our new go to spot for our family summer vacations! Specifically loved eating at Oasis Restaurant & Connolly’s for a fantastic breakfast! So grateful for our stay and the memories that were made :)

Fantastic House and Hosts

We felt right at home from the moment we checked in. It was roomy and comfortable. Pool was nice and warm. Excellent especially since the days were in the low to mid 70’s. The hosts answered all texts within minutes from the time we booked until we left. It is exactly as advertised. Everything was close and we enjoyed the beach which was just down the street. David and Party are great and we had been in another of their properties a few years ago. Jen is the VRBO agent that helped us. I highly recommend this property as well as any other properties owned by David and Patty. You won’t be disappointed!

Great location and house!

Location in Butler Beach is great, house was well maintained and functional with three bedrooms. The master is on the opposite end of the house from the two guests which is a nice setup. Yard was great for the dog and pool was perfect. We decided to drive to the beach as it was a long walk for summer heat. Several access spots very close. You can also drive on the beach which is fun. One note is there is another rental property with the same setup next door so you roll the dice on who your neighbors will be, it was empty most of the week so great for us. Very relaxing week, highly recommended!
